Brooklyn. Once the scrappy sibling in New York's borough family, it has long since shrugged off any inferiority complex. Now, it's the global capital of cool-where brownstone stoops double as office desks or where a bodega cat might have more Instagram followers than you.
Brooklyn is a borough of contradictions. Luxury condos cast shadows over anarchist bookstores. Vegan bakeries coexist with 100-year-old pastrami-slinging delis. You'll find rooftop raves in Gowanus warehouses and backyard poetry readings in Bed-Stuy. Vintage is currency, and authenticity is curated with intent.
Street walls hijacked as canvases, a bar hidden behind a pizzeria spinning 90s mixtapes, vintage finds under a bridge's archways, concerts in a bowling alley and social rock wall- Get lost in the borough of cool and contradiction. Includes: - Five long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their pursuits and life in Brooklyn - A locals-curated list of the Top 5 places to check out for the best slice, cocktails and more - A photo showcase by Brooklyn native and award-winning street photographer Jamel Shabazz - A detailed index for ease of use in planning and organizing trips - More than 100 pages of recommendations and write ups for dining, dancing, drinking, and day-tripping in the borough Recommended books, films & music to get you in the Brooklyn state of mind.
